We’d like to express our sincere gratitude to The Community Foundation Serving Boulder County for its recent grant of $2,000 to go toward Family Support Grants for families living in Boulder County.
Family Support Grants help pay for the extraordinary costs of caring for a family member who has a developmental disability. Funds may be used to help pay for respite care, professional services, medical and dental senses, transportation, assistive technology, home modifications, and parent and sibling support.
Anyone who has a family member with a developmental disability knows how difficult it can be to pay for some of these expenses, and these grants can make a huge difference. As one family told us: “This grant will help ease the financial stress and burden that comes with having a special needs child. It helps offset costs that insurance does not cover. Each year it seems that insurance covers less to help our child function in the world. We have dealt with that by cutting down on therapies, respite and recreation activities. This grant helps us keep some of those things in place.”
The Community Foundation Serving Boulder County has been generously supporting Imagine! programs for quite some time. In fact, the total amount of donations it has provided to Imagine! over the years is $63,147! Wow, that is fantastic, and we are most appreciative!
